The ferry giant Stena Line says a no-deal Brexit remains the "worst possible scenario" and a lack of clarity has made it "almost impossible" to plan for.

The company writes NorthWalesLive, warned no-deal brought the "high potential for significant delays and congestions" at Holyhead - the UK's second busiest passenger port.

This comes a day after Michael Gove (visited Holyhead), the minister in charge of Government preparation for no-deal, said ports are "geared up" for Brexit and should avoid any significant delays and congestion.

The UK is currently on course to leave without a deal on October 31 unless a compromise deal can be reached or Parliament intervenes to prevent no-deal.

Within the last fortnight Afloat adds the UK Chancellor also paid a visit to the Port of Dover in addition to Warrenpoint Harbour in Co. Down.
